Smelling Cologne #1
The dominant note is burning coal, I notice it far too often on this street not far from where I live. It reminds me of Yugoslavia. Yesterday the coal smoke was there but also a strong albeit brief note of lavender. I didn't expect to find it there, on the street, but tucked beside this bike was a healthy bush.

I love the smell of Lavender.I too have one of those bushes in my garden and love to rub my finger tips across its leafes,smell that fresh scent.
It brings back memories of dresserdraws filled with lacy hankies and dainty things...
Ahh, lavender is wonderful. I dry the flowers from our garden and keep some in a drawer in the kitchen and every time I open it, the scent wafts out. Refreshing and calming at the same time.
mmmm lavender. i love the smell of a fresh sprig--did you touch it? It stays on your hands for awhile!
signora--dainty things, I love that!
SB ...
The lavender was a complete surprise - but a nice one.
Christine ...
I couldn't belive that it grew here all year! In NYC my lavender had to be replaced each spring.
DCB ... You inspired this endeavor.
Mmmmm...makes me want to take a lavender bubble bath; everything is frozen here. The smell is only of cold. Bitter cold; you don;t relly want to inhale because the moisture in your nostrils freezes them closed. (Wee exaggeration, perhaps.)
In NYC & the Catskills my lavender lives year round--I can go out and get some (scent anyway) in the dead of winter. There are so many types of lavender, though. I tend to buy the most rugged plants.
In the West Village of Manhattan, mine died.
Choosing the right perfume can be difficult and because it is also considered an intimate gift buying the wrong perfume
can backfire on you and get you the opposite result of that which you hoped for.
The first thing you need to do is do some homework, meaning research. Look at your lady's perfume bottles, the ones that
are nearly empty will be her favorites. If there is one there that is nearly full chances are she doesn't wear it often
or doesn't like it. Hint around and ask her what types of fragrances she likes and dislikes.
Humans are very sensory oriented and our sense of smell is no different. Certain perfumes can elicit strong reactions in
both the wearer and the person reacting to the scent. Perfumes are made not only to attract but to also relax someone. If
you aren't totally sure what kind of perfume to buy you can always play it safe and get something in the aromatherapy
line. If you go this route, bear in mind that vanilla scents are considered to relax and a peppermint or lemon scent will
be more stimulating.
